I've never seen the point in spending time and effort learning and memorising a bunch of vim commands. If I need to do more than simple edits to a file, I'll have a graphical desktop installed and use vscode. I tend to use nano if using a CLI as it's more intuitive.

I've never seen the point in spending time and effort learning and memorising a bunch of contextual menus that I need to point and click through. If I need to do more than simple edits to a file, I'll do the same thing as I would when making simple edits to a file or composing an email, I'll crack open vim and get to work.

Cracked me up good.

You don't need to spend any time or effort memorising a bunch of menus.

Nothing is going to convince me that a more conventional GUI text editor provides better ergonomics than something like vim or emacs.

If you don’t like that kind of editor, that’s fine. You do you.

One reason among many: less keyboard<->mouse hand movements -> less strain on your hands and wrists. Vscode has decent vim bindings btw.
